About to buy a 1978 B7100

Gotta love how "naked" it looks... almost like some alien creature with an exoskeleton. Should be a piece of cake to get at everything to work on it. :thumbsup:

P.S. - the snapshot of the top of the engine... the injector returns are the daisy-chained hoses from one to the next and back to the tank. If you had a situation where you had the pump completely airlocked to where it wouldn't re-prime, you'd probably have to pop the tank line off and pull a vacuum.

Yep, I got the slide on rims. They have some slop and I can't get them any tighter. What it cost you to replace them, and what did you go with?

I went to the Kubota dealer in town and asked them about it (the looseness).. They said Kubota had some replacement specificly for this model to correct this problem.. I think it was around 200 dollars for the set.. But WOW, it is like night and day..

There is a new style hub which actually works. :thumbsup:

Pic. of old style attached.

And a picture of worn out parts from inside the steering box.

Repaired/modified the old hubs on my 1980 B7100. Been going 2 years now & still tight.
